Tensile strength is a measure of the stress needed to break a material by stretching. Stress is the force applied divided by the cross-sectional area of the material. Tensile strength is also referred to as ultimate tensile strength. Tensile strength is measured using tensile test rigs and sampl...

Ultimate Tensile Strength Of Some Common Materials The ultimate tensile strength of a material is its maximum resistance to fracture. As you can imagine, the tensile strength of a material is a crucial measurement of its ability to perform in an application, which is why the UTS is widely used...
MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF SOLIDS Milton Ohring, in Engineering Materials Science, 1995 7.3.1 The Tensile Test The tensile strength is the most widely recognized and quoted measure of a material's ability to support load. To obtain information on the tensile behavior of metals, bar or plate specimen...
Tensile strength measures the force required to pull something such as rope, wire, or a structural beam to the point where it breaks. Thetensile strengthof a material is the maximum amount of tensile stress that it can take before failure, for example breaking. ...

While at first this single parameter characterization appears to be similarto metals, where the yield strength can be used as a single parameter to characterize metals of asimilar class, e.g. steels, it needs to be noted that the yield strength only characterizes the elasticresponse of the ...

Aluminum is lightweight, having a density roughly 1/3 of that of steel; this 1/3 relationship also holds true for the modulus of elasticity, which is often taken as about 70GPa (10,000 ksi) for aluminum. Its strength and other mechanical properties, which are very low in its pure state...
tension. Ultimate elongation values of several hundred percent are common for elastomers and film/packaging polyolefins. Rigid plastics, especially fiber reinforced ones, often exhibit values under 5%. The combination of high ultimate tensile strength and high elongation leads to materials of high ...
